The Akagera Mothers Program is dedicated to helping single mothers in Kayonza district rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and opportunity. Through practical support, skills training, and community connection, the program empowers women to become self-reliant and provide stable, nurturing homes for their children.

Many of the mothers we support face significant challenges, including limited income opportunities and the responsibility of raising children alone. Your donation helps provide vocational training, small business support, and essential resources that enable these women to generate sustainable income and regain confidence in their ability to shape their future.

By supporting the Akagera Mothers Program, you are not only helping a mother restart her life – you are strengthening families, uplifting children, and investing in resilient communities across Rwanda.
